Prerana - Home of Mentally Challenged Kids Please Support

Adopt a Child &nbsp
Taking care of a mentally disabled child is very hard and demanding.
It is all the more challenging when the child is from a poor family.
Such children require special care and attention for their overall development.
However, their families are not trained to take proper care of them and it
is beyond their means to give them the special attention they deserve.
To make matters worse, competent facilities aimed at their well-being and special
educational needs of such mentally challenged children in those rural settings are
practically non-existent. These children are hence typically left behind without
any essential life skills or self-esteem.
Prerana
is a humble effort to help poor, needy families having children with special needs.
Their aim is provide these special children with a safe and secure environment
conducive
to develop their self-esteem as well as equip these kids with essential life and
social skills so that they can take care of themselves.
ICON Charities is teaming up with Prerana to support its noble cause. Currently,
Prerana helps around 70 kids of varying mental capabilities and ages. It cost them
around $200 to support one child per year.
We are looking for kind hearted families to adopt a child for a year or part of the year.

Religious Outlook and Non-Discrimination Policy:
ICON Charities, Indian Christian Orthodox Network Charities, is a non-religious non-profit organization and is not
affiliated to any church organization. The driving passion of the organizers of ICON Charities is Christ's
teachings of universal love and compassion. Its operating philosophy is "do not neglect to do good and to share what you have,
for such sacrifices are pleasing to God" and its relationship with its stakeholders is
"let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others" and "bear one another's burdens."

Though the organization guiding principles are rooted in Christ's teachings and its current board members belong to
Indian (Malankara) Orthodox heritage, it accepts support from all and serves all without any discrimination.
We are committed to mutual respect of all religions and non-proselytization.
We believe that "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."
